You line up 2 sets of cups at each end of a table filled with beer, like 10 or so in a triangle shape. Then you put 1 guy/girl at each end of the table (or do teams of 2 if you have enough ppl) and you try to bounce the ping pong ball into the opposing teams cups. If it lands in a cup they have to drink it. Whoever drinks all of their cups loses, winner goes on to the next round.

Of course you can google the offical rules and all that jazz and get way more accurate information than I'm giving, but you get the point.

well for me it would be age of empires cause it made me a faster typer, made me develop a love for history which in turn help me ace assignments of the subject all through schooling and lastly a love/addiction for everything video game

There is no 'best in the world'. Lets just be a bit realistic in this fantasy paradise of gaming. You should be asking what has lasted as legendary or met a global presence that has lasted maybe a century or at least few generations of players. Computers may not be old enough yet to be deemed acceptable processors for any electronic game title. I'd say you might have to eliminate anything that requires a support device to make it legendary. Simplicity makes a real game last longer because anyone of any age can learn the rule without any need for processing other information. For example: a computer or console requires a user understand the function of pressing the right button to get a win-win situation. Board, Card and Physical games still require rules but are bigger winners with non generational gaps between users. 'Chess' would be the western version of the Eastern 'Go' which I'd say is more complex than most people can think ahead. Like Chess, Go also is very unforgiving if you make a mistake but when you do, you learn a better way to play from your opponent. Console games have a long way to go to bring the same enlightenment as a legendary entertainer. Whilst games are played at all ages there will be conjecture over what makes a game good enough to put on a pedestal to shine. There is no realistic measure of quality that overrides the pleasure of playing and differences are age defining and creativity is something learned by doing not given a rating or critiqued. What one person sees as balanced another may think it to difficult or too simple. There is no pleasing everyone on a console game and that is my main reason why the electronic game cannot be judged in this way as 'best'. It describes something that all developers aspire to produce. The finer form of 'best' should only describe portions of a game that befit to prominence of greatness that many other people have reflected upon. If you want a result, you should poll all the non electronic games from 1600ad onwards. You'd be suprised at what people have played way back when electricity was unheard of.

If this thread is meant to be a guide for those wanting a better game I suggest you get a real Basket Ball out of the cupboard and go play 'street hoops' and breath the fresh air of reality for a while..

i think your missing the point the question really means what do we all think is the best game ever of the video gaming variety what we would put on that so called "shining pedestal" if you dont agree with the creation of thread why not create your own based on the consistence that you or others play Tic-Tac-Toe?
